Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra has been in the making from the past few years. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles, and after getting pushed multiple times, finally, the movie is slated to release on 4th December 2020.

However, the shooting of the film is still left and it is stalled due to the lockdown. So, we wonder if it will be able to release this year or not.  Meanwhile, Mid-day has reported that a London based studio might be doing the VFX of the film.

A source told the tabloid, "A large portion of the footage has been sent to the London team so that it can begin working on the visual effects in this period. Aware that outsourcing the job and sharing the content can increase the risk of the film being leaked, Ayan wanted only a core team of experts working on it. The director handpicked a five-member team who are the only people in possession of the footage."

A few days ago, there were reports that Brahmastra has gone over budget and the actors will be getting pay cuts in their fees because of that. However, producer Karan Johar took to Twitter to request the media to not spread such stories.

He tweeted, “My hugest request to my media friends not to reach any assumptions on our fraternity  films...these are challenging times for the business and false news only makes the situation worse! Please wait for official news on any account!! This is a humble  request....”

Brahmastra also stars Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna, and Gurfateh Pirzada in the pivotal roles. Shah Rukh Khan will also be seen in a cameo in the movie.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘banana’ joke on Trisha sparks backlash, internet split over offensive humour

During a recent event for the upcoming film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan’s casual remark aimed at co-star Trisha Krishnan stirred more than just laughter. What was likely meant as a light-hearted moment has now triggered debate across social media, with opinions split on whether the joke crossed a line.

It happened during a promotional interview when Trisha was asked about her favourite food. She mentioned a boiled banana dish but struggled to recall its original name, ‘pazham pori’ or banana fritters. Kamal jumped in with a quip: “She doesn’t know the name but likes putting it in her mouth,” followed by a pat on her knee. Trisha laughed it off in the moment, but the clip quickly made its way online and not everyone was amused.

Saif Ali Khan buys luxury island home in Qatar just 3 months after knife attack

After a brutal home invasion in January left him injured and shaken, Saif Ali Khan has made a significant change; he’s bought a holiday home in Qatar. The new property, located on the luxurious St Regis Marsa Arabia Island at The Pearl in Doha, isn’t just about real estate for Saif but about finding a sense of calm and comfort after a turbulent start to the year.

At a recent press event hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif opened up about what led to the purchase. While in Doha for work, he stayed at the property and found himself drawn to the overall experience. “It just felt right,” he said. The privacy, the well-designed spaces, the food, and the general pace of life all played a part in his decision. But more than anything, it was the feeling of safety that mattered most.
